Abstract:

The present study carried on the physico-chemical parameters of Velair Lake in Warangal district, Telangana State for the period from June 2016 to May 2017. Water samples were collected from the lake and analyzed using standard laboratory methods and procedures. The results of the water analysis showed a variation in some of the parameters at the different sampling stations within the lake. The parameters that were studied included Water Temperature(⁰C), Electrical Conductivity(µmhos/cm), Total Dissolved Solids(mg/l), Water Transparency(Cm), PH, Dissolved Solids(mg/l), Carbon Di Oxide(mg/l), Total Alkalinity(mg/l), Chlorides(mg/l), Biological Oxygen Demand(mg/l), Phosphates(mg/l), Nitrates(mg/l) and Ammonia(ppm) have been estimated. The results obtained confirmed seasonal variations and fluctuations of various physico-chemical parameters during the study period. These results revealed that, the physic-chemical parameters of the fresh water lake were within the permissible limits and can be used for home, irrigation and pisciculture purposes.
